Moisés Figo
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Moisés Figo (Hebrew: משה בן יוסף פיגו, Moshe ben Yosef Figo; d. 1576) was an Ottoman lexicographer from the Piccio family. Figo compiled Zikhron Torat Moshe (Hebrew: זכרון תורת משה), which is a dictionary of aggadic terminology first published in Constantinople in 1552.[1] The dictionary's content reflects the impact of the massive migrations taking place at that time around the Mediterranean Basin.[2]
